The Chicago Inter Ocean calls attention
to the fact that President Cleveland's
"otficial interview" with the agent OF
the New York WorId-his first campaign
document-fails in any particular to de-
fine the policy which President should
have as the chief magistrate of nation
or the representative of a great party.
1t neither commits him to the tradition
al policy of the Democratic party, nor
does it in any way lay down the features
of policy of his own. To be sure it ex-
presses the friendly relationship of the
President to the Pacific Railroad Com
mission, his undated interest in the
cause of civil service reform, the difficult
ties that beset reforming President
surrounded by unreformed and unre-
formable advisers, the comparatively
prosperous condition of the country.
All these and many more matters that
may 60 in mitigation of administrative
failures or be cleverly urged as admins
trative successes are touched upon,
Even the Wheeling incident" is mo-
ticed, and very cleverly noticed, too, for
it is made to appear that he deprecates
needless irritation of the soldier ele-
ment. But it has no explanation or NIT
igation of his rebel flag order, no hint of
any lessening of his hostility to liberal
pension measures, no indication of de-
sire for rehabilitation of the navy or
mercantile marine, no sign of sympathy
with the development of manufactures
or mines. Of six columns of talk six
lines might have been given to such Ma
tional issues, but except to that of civil
service reform not line is given, and
on that the President is apologetic and
evasive.

A WASHINGTON correspondent init
mates that while the tariff question has
been discussed pro and con by the Pres
ident and Mr.. Carlisle, yet the real OBJ
ject Mr.. Cleveland had in view was not
so much to secure the speakers assist
ance in drafting bill to be presented to
congress in the early days of the session,
or, rather, to secure the Endorsement of
his views by Mr.. Carlisle in the tariff
bill he was understood to be preparing,
as to get his views on this question and
other important measures to be brought
to the attention of congress in the an
nual message. In other words, the
President is training for getting out a
state paper that shall not be condemned
because of the failure of the last attempt
to grasp all leading issues. Between
this and the first of December he will
see a great many people, and hear a
great many opinions on tariff and other
matters, and it is presumed that he win
never be in better condition to formu-
late his message. He has full possession
of his own ideas now, and knows about
what will be pleasing to the leaders OF
his party, as he has consulted with most
of them. After his return from the cir
Gle swinging, which he proposes soon to
enter upon, he may be little unsettled.

STATE AUDITOR BRADEN, one of the
leading men in the department of Min.
nesota, says: "This talk that you may
hear in some quarters that the Grand
Army of the Republic is rapidly degen-
Grating into political club is nonsens-
ical. The army will do nothing of the
kind. 1t clearly had right to criticise
President Cleveland, and it did 30. You
may remember that when Gen. Grant
vetoed the equalization of bounty bill
the Grand Army, both republicans and
democrats, were loud in their express
ion of disapproval, yet it was not
charged that it was improperly med
ding in politics. We are not bound
by any means to preserve a stupid sill
ence over matters of the greatest inter-
est. That Cleveland, who was a full
grown man at the timo of the war, did
not raise his hand to help his country
in any way, makes him unpopular with
many of the Grand Army. He is not
bound to us by any patriotic acts. Ger
talnly that Wheeling episode was fool
lsh, and still, l am told that that Wheel
ing editor was fre-eater in times past,
and swore that the army should pass
under his banner whether they would
or not. This would naturally rouse op-
position in any men of spirit"

PowDERLY SHOWS SENSE.

Mr.. Powderly has again clearly dis
played his knowledge of the conditions
OF labor by the advice he recently gave
the Knights of Labor in circular pro-
posing new policy for the government
of that order. 1t is self-evident that
brick layers cannot have an intimate
knowledge of the wants of printers, nor
printers of those Of cigar makers, nor
cigar makers those of painters, and 80
on through the long catalogue of trades.
The grocery trade never thinks ofasklng
the advice of the dry goods trade as to q
tariff of prices, the iron makers associa-
ton does not fix the price of wood, nor
do the wool-growers presume to regulate
the output of the sugar refneries. 1t is
only in the labor market that there has
been effort to subject the prices Of yari-
GUS commodities to the dictation of men
who know nothing Of their values nor Of
the fluctuations in the demand for them.
The General Assembly of the Knights
of Labor has been burdened with work
for which 1t was eminently unified.
Mr.. Powderly proposes to give each
trade the right of forming a National
Assembly, acting in some degree of re-
lationship to the General Assembly of
K. of L. The National Trades Assem-
bly, is properly to be endowed with su-
preme power in regulating prices of
labor in its own department, and of adj
Judging upon local complaints. No
strike in any trade is to be held lawful
unless sanctioned by three-fourths
vote of the National Assembly. Arbi-
tration is always to be encouraged, and
each National Assembly is to maintain
bureau of statistics of the growth or
diminution of the volume of trade, and
of changes in the price of labor and
products. The latter provision is wise,
as furnishing basis of adjudication in
case of difference between employer
and employed, and the former provision
is wise, as RELOCATING the affairs of each
trade to its own members.

In3 a 0E~-I 80. ~
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 9.-Another
effort is to be made next session of con-
gress to get some action in the way OF
encouragement for the wine industry OF
this country. Reports from California
show that the wine crop of the present
year is going to be something astonish-
ing. Work upon the making of wines in
California is just begun. There are at
present 1884 wine growers in the State,
and an average of 10000 acres of vines
are in bearing, estimated at value of
$50, OO0,0 900. Work is given to &C, 600 peo-
pie IN the vineyards, and the coopering,
bottling and boxmRking departments.
The total vintage for 1887 will sum up
16, zoe, 900 gallons, distributed in the fol-
lowing counties: N,pa, 5000, 900; Ella
media, and Contra Gotta, l, 100 600; Santa

Mr.. CLEVELAND in his World interview
declared that in every case of demand
for the removal of Republican Office
holder he has required proof that the of.
fetal was unfit for a public servant and
derelict in his duties. Does he mean to
say that every one of the thousands Of
Republicans removed were dishonest.
incompetent or unfaIthful officials? II
so, the only reply that can be made is
that the statement is untrue. In all parts
of the West good, honest, capable men
have been removed from positions only
because they were Republicans, and
their places filed by partisan Democrats,
If Mr.. Cleveland has not done this, the
men under him are at least responsible
for it, and it is about time that he stop
ped attitudinizing as an upholder Of civil
service reform. The facts show that his
reform pretensions are pretenses only,
and the people can see as much very
plainly.

A WASHINGTON dispatch brings the
sad news that the tariff plan of the ad-
ministration has fallen through.
Carlisle and wife moved in from Red
Top to-day and Congressman Scott seems
to knock the whole thing in the head.
1t has been suggested that Mills of Tex
as was not getting 80 much considera-
ton as he was given credit for, and now
Scott says he was not invited to Oak
View or even consulted on the tariff
matter. The real truth, so far as can be
learned, is that the unexpected appear
ance of Thoebe's contest against Carlisle
rather reduces that gentleman's impor-
ance as possible factor IN tariff reform,
and the President does not care to go
into any more legislative plans than al
ready made, until he knows who is to
fight for the party in the House. Then
Randall has proved unusually obstinate.
He says: eff they think they can learn
anything of my tariff plans before the
next Congress meets, they are greatly
mistaken. They cannot organize the
next Congress without me, and they
know it. 1t is folly for them to talk of
any compromise at this time.

MAD MAniTosAns.


The Dominion Government File In
functions Against the Conetruc-
ton Of the Red River Railroad.
WIESIPDa, Manitoba, Sept. lO.-The
climax in railway matters was reached
this morning when it was announced
that the Dominion government had fled
two injunctions against the construction
Of the Red River Valley road over gov
eminent property. Up to the present
time the bills have been filed by the Ca
madam Pacific and their agents, although
IT was thought that the Federal authori-
ties were really at the bottom Of the
whole matter. Many, however, thought
that the government opposition to the
road was only nominal, and would not
be carried beyond disaIlowance Of the
charter. This last move has sWeptsWsy
all hope in that quarter, and the public
declaration of war upon the Red River
road has stirred the people to the core.
The greatest indignation prevailed
when the news was spread Of the filing
Of the injunction, and on every hand
the Dominion government was denoune-
ed, their warmest supporters taking
hand in it. The bills set forth that GER
tain lands in the parish Of st. Agathe,
vested in the Crown, for purposes Of the
Dominion, and over which the Minister
of the Interior has control, have been
unlawfully taken possession Of by the
Red River Valley railway for the con-
struction of their road, and call upon
the court TO prevent the defendants from
laying rails or in any way using said land
for the purposes Of q railway, and from
running locomotive engines and ears
thereon.
II is hard to say where the matter viii
end now. The government win push
tue injunctions right away. Many Man
itobans are beginning to lose faith In
Premier Norquay, who has been away
some three weeks, and as yet has ac-
complIshed nothing. Should he be
playing into the hands of Sir John, %
many think, tar and feathers and nail
are awaiting him.
1t is reported to-day that Mr.. Hamil-
ton, Attorney General, has secured suf-
icient financial relief to meet all emery
encies for the present, and the track
laying will at once commence as soon rs
the rails arrive.
The governments action is looked up
on as the last straw to break the back Of
the camel, and must lead to serious trou-
BILE. Indignation meetings are threat
ened. The local authorities, while APP
prehensive of the serious turn Affairs
have taken, will not relent one iota, and
the construction of the road viii pro-
coed. Interest is added to the scene by
the fact that the local government has
tided over the financial pressure, and
the 100000 due Ryan & Haney, con-
tractors, was met to-day, and $4,000
paid In Montreal to release the rails held
there. The iron is now under way, and
is expected to arrive in few days.
Formal fight will be continued in the
courts, simply to delay proceedings, that
the road may be completed and ready
for operation.

Chicago, Sept. 8. The Milk shippers
Union of the Northwest held an import

matters considered was the formation of
great company, or "trust," to monopo-
lie the entire milk business of Chicago.
Over 100 shippers, representing between
thirty and forty towns on all the roads
coming into the city were present. The
report of a committee appointed at the
last meeting of shippers in April, was
received. This committee was to inves-
tigate and DEVISE some plan by which to
secure more complete cooperation
among milk producers. The report re-
commended that the capital stock of the
corporation be 500, 900, divided into TO-
600 shares of $40 each. ANY farmer pro-
ducing one can of milk per day should
be entitled to at least one share, and no
person not producer of milk shall be
allowed to own any stock.
